Double Eccentric Flange Butterfly Valve, Metal Seated
Engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring zero leakage and exceptional durability, the Metal Seated Double Offset Flanged Butterfly Valve represents the pinnacle of high-performance flow control. This robust valve design is specifically built to handle extreme temperatures, abrasive media, and high-pressure differentials where resilient seated valves would fail. The core technology lies in its double eccentric (double offset) disc and stem configuration, which fundamentally eliminates sliding friction between the metal seat and disc during operation. This crucial feature ensures smooth, low-torque actuation and dramatically extends the service life of the sealing components. For critical isolation duties in the oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and marine industries, this valve provides a reliable, long-term solution with superior sealing integrity. The hard-faced metal-to-metal seat ensures tight shut-off even under the most severe service conditions.
The design of the Double Eccentric Flange Butterfly Valve, Metal Seated employs two distinct offsets: the first offset positions the stem axis behind the centerline of the disc seat, and the second offset places it slightly off-center to the pipeline bore. This geometric principle causes the disc to lift away from the seat immediately upon the first few degrees of rotation, transitioning from a sealing to a cam-like motion. This action minimizes wear and allows the valve to achieve bubble-tight shut-off repeatedly. The flanged ends, typically designed to ASME, DIN, or other international standards, ensure easy and secure installation into existing piping systems. Standard body materials include carbon steel (WCB), stainless steel (CF8/CF8M), and special alloys, with the disc and seat often hard-coated or overlaid with materials like Stellite, Hastelloy, or 316 stainless steel to resist corrosion, erosion, and galling.
